The Boothbay Region YMCA is proud to announce that it has reached its campaign goal of $14.5 million. The A Greater Impact campaign began in 2018 with a grant of $3.5 million from the Marylouise Tandy Foundation. The goals of the campaign were to create a waterfront pavilion at Camp Knickerbocker, renovate the main facility, the Marylouise Tandy fieldhouse, the Child Enrichment Center, and McEvoy Lodge at Camp K, and purchase two new busses. In addition, the campaign strived to inspire donors to also participate in the operations of the Y through the Annual and Camp K Funds and to support its reserves through gifts and bequests to the board designated endowment fund.
Critical improvements to the Harbor Montessori School and Child Enrichment Center begins in Spring 2025, when the children will be temporarily relocated to the Y’s main facility during the renovations. Renovations to the McEvoy Lodge at Camp K will begin after the 2025 camp season is complete. The FitKids after-school program will be temporarily relocated to the Y’s main facility during renovation.
Gifts and pledges of any size to the A Greater Impact campaign will be added to a Donor Wall in the front lobby of the Y. Gifts and pledges (payable up to 5 years) can be made in honor or in memory of a loved one. Gifts and pledges will be recorded until December 31, 2024. An event to celebrate the donors who supported the campaign will take place in Spring 2025.
Thank you to our supporters and donors to the Y’s capital campaign!
